v2.1.1 · Hotfix

Latest

2026-08-08

Added

Parameter Control · Edit: rename a parameter and change the group it sits in, in one action. Leave the name blank and only the group moves, in place, with no values touched
Parameter Control · Change Group: set the group on a whole selection at once, including groups the previous release could not offer, such as Visibility, Photometrics and Title Text
Check Levels · Offset: the "Spacing" field became "Offset" and accepts negative values, so a new level can build downward for basements and site work. Zero is still rejected, and the field now opens on a round number in the unit you work in, 10' on imperial projects and 3 m on metric ones, instead of a literal conversion

Changed

The parameter template now arrives empty, with no sample row, and carries drop-downs on the six fixed-value columns. Templates made with the previous release still import
The installer registers as "B45 Labs | Coordination" in the Windows list of installed apps

Fixed

PDF export threw on every run on Revit 2023 and 2024: App Store security pins moved four bundled Microsoft libraries to a newer major version, and .NET Framework does not roll forward, so the add-in now supplies the matching copy itself. Revit 2025 and newer were never affected
Check Levels flagged ELEV. DIFF on linked levels sitting at the same elevation. Levels within 1/16 in now read as the same level, and a difference too small for the displayed precision reports in inches or millimetres instead of zero
Renaming a parameter moved it to the Data group on non-English Revit (Portuguese, Spanish, French and Russian)
Check Annotations dropped the duplicate-tag count outside English
Status and state colours now come from the theme palette, which fixes Light theme legibility and the selected queued row in Check Spaces
Check Spelling always opened on English (US) and now opens on your language
Check Spelling's right-click menu and tick-box column render correctly again
Importing a spreadsheet still open in Excel failed with a file-in-use error
77 strings that had fallen back to English are now translated

Notes

Hotfix: a repair release for 2.1.0
Full support: Revit 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027

v2.1.0

2026-08-02

Added

Check Walls · Visual Analysis — paint the walls in your model by Base Level, Wall Type, Workset, Phase Created, Phase Demolished, Function, Structural or Problems, with a generated colour palette, presets, colour pinning, a transparency slider, an on-screen legend and a Reset. Colours show in plans and sections, not only in 3D
Check Walls · Schedule Filters — the single Level dropdown became seven combinable dimensions, and multi-selecting in the grid or the legend selects exactly those walls in the model
Branded Excel and PDF reports across Check Coordinates, Check Model Health, Check Parameters, Export Worksets, Model Progress, Clash Report Converter and Model Report Card — set your company name, accent colour and logo once in User Profile and every report carries them
Check Model Health — a Diagnostics dashboard with a warnings triage bar (Critical, Important, Noise, Uncatalogued) and Model Size contributor bars showing what weighs around the model
Parameter Control · Cleanup — groups parameters that share a name, shows what each one holds, and consolidates them onto a single survivor instead of just deleting the extras
Check and Upgrade Model Version — a shared Rename panel with prefix, suffix and find-and-replace, buttons to add files after opening, and an overwrite guard that confirms every file about to be saved over its own source
Contextual F1 help — press F1 on a ribbon button, inside an open window, or on a split-button header, and that command's documentation page opens
Type-ahead in every list — click any list or grid and start typing to jump to the match
Sync Sheet Issue Date · Stamp mode — type an issue date and an optional first-issue date, so a first delivery with no revisions can still be stamped

Improved

One visual identity — the B45 letterhead now heads every window and dialog, and "Content Browser" is called "Library" everywhere, in all five languages
Notifications — progress and completion share one corner of the monitor running Revit, so an operation visibly finishes into its own message
Generated files default to a B45_ name prefix, so exports group together in your Downloads folder
Sheet Navigator — dock the palette to the ViewCube or any corner, a new Home button that zooms to fit, and it reopens docked next session
124 strings that silently fell back to English are now translated in Portuguese, Spanish, French and Russian

Fixed

Copy Project Parameters crashed on every run on Revit 2025 and newer
Check Coordinates — the results window failed to open at all, and PDF export never worked on any command because the required fonts were never resolved
Parameter Control — export then import into the next project now actually works, consolidating no longer destroys schedule columns, and operations identify a parameter by identity instead of by name
Check Walls — Reset clears every colour, including paint left by an earlier session, and selecting a legend colour no longer yanks you out to the 3D view
Multi-monitor — notifications, update prompts and ribbon dropdowns now appear on the monitor running Revit instead of always the primary display

Notes

Revit starts faster — the usage database no longer initialises on the startup path, measured at 65-88% of the add-in's entire startup cost
Full support: Revit 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027

v2.0.3 · Hotfix

2026-07-20

Added

Model Size — a new tool that pinpoints what's inflating your model's file size and deletes unused families in one click, built into a refreshed Check Model Health

Improved

Interface refresh — cleaner, more consistent buttons and dialogs across the whole suite, tuned for both dark and light themes
Check Spaces — now modeless: keep working in Revit while it's open
Create Sheets — a resizable Target Models panel and a cleaner layout
Place on Existing Sheet — click anywhere on a preview header to collapse it, plus layout refinements
Parameter Control — the category picker is resizable, with a clearer list and a "Show only selected" toggle
Sheet Navigator — smoother fade-in, and it remembers its last position

Fixed

Copy & Place Detail Sheets — reliable on large models now: progressive commit, better view-tab handling, and no freeze when placing viewports
Light theme — hard-to-read text and near-invisible button borders fixed across many windows (including the Resize Clash Spheres value field)
Clear View (Preserve Links) — correctly restores each link's visibility state
Check Parameters — the Summary table can be resized by its bottom grip again
Find — the Find / Previous / Next buttons no longer clip at the window edge
Check Coordinates — the "unconfigured coordinates" notice no longer needs a scrollbar

Notes

Hotfix — an interface and reliability follow-up
Full support: Revit 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027

v2.0.2 · Hotfix

2026-07-13

Added

Apple-style notifications — routine, non-blocking messages now appear as clean floating toasts in the corner of Revit, with a subtle slide-in and auto-dismiss, instead of interrupting your work with a dialog

Improved

Light-theme selection, redesigned — selected rows use a clear accent-blue highlight with white text, readable across ~35 windows (View / Element / Warnings Breakdown, Check Parameters results, and more)
Parameter Control — renaming a parameter now preserves its values (including on grouped elements) and keeps it working in schedules and filters; the Rename / Replace dialog follows your theme
Check Parameters — refresh a single tab or everything, an opt-in Select-in-model, Ctrl+Enter fill-down, and an in-window Excel import with a corrected preview
Check Walls — grid combo and numeric cells are now fully editable
Faster startup — the update check no longer blocks the splash path, and the critical-update lock is airtight
Settings, reorganized — the Visible Modules launcher moved to the end of the Revit Settings panel and now reads "Settings"
Window polish — standardized 32×32 chrome buttons and a unified 1px accent divider across the sheet-command windows

Fixed

Light theme — dark text on blue accent buttons (Check Model Health), invisible secondary-button hover text, and an invisible toast close button
The selection checkbox now stays visible on selected rows
Corrected stale PayPal references — donations are handled through Stripe

Notes

Hotfix — a polish-and-performance follow-up to the 2.0.0 launch
Full support: Revit 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027

Fixed

Fixed a Revit crash when editing combo cells in Check Walls

Notes

Hotfix polishing the 2.0.0 launch

v2.0.0

2026-07-08

Added

Check Spaces, Check Areas, Check Annotations, and Check Monitored Elements — a wave of new QA/QC tools for spaces, areas, tag coverage, and Copy/Monitor relationships

Check Parameters — edit instance and type parameter values right in the grid and write them back

"Select in model" is now opt-in, and update notifications are tiered — a gentle toast for routine updates, a modal only when it matters
Ribbon refresh and a suite-wide visual consistency pass — unified dark dropdowns and checkboxes, reworked scrollbars, and a light-theme legibility sweep

Fixed

Fixed a crash on Revit shutdown when copying/placing sheets, and a freeze when changing theme or canvas color
Room tags in Check Annotations no longer all report as "Untagged"
Check Model Health reads correctly in non-English Revit; the correct default 3D view is used in workshared models

Security

Consent-based, opt-out telemetry — local profile encrypted at rest (DPAPI) and file paths stripped from diagnostics
